Peru immigration dept deploys Integrated Biometrics scanners at Jorge Chávez Intl Airport

Integrated Biometrics (IB) continues to grow its impressive customer base in South America.

IB’s advanced biometric scanning technology will be deployed in 21 digital kiosks at Lima’s newest terminal at the Jorge Chávez International Airport. Lima is of course the capital of Peru, home to more than 11 million people, with a UNESCO World Heritage Site at its historic center.

The kiosks are created by IB partner SITA and feature Integrated Biometrics’ Kojak, an iBeta compliant, FAP 60 FBI Appendix F certified 10-print roll biometric scanner. The biometric fingerprint enrollment and identification technology will aid Peru’s immigration authority, the Superintendencia Nacional de Migraciones, in the detection of individuals flagged with international alerts or active warrants, streamlining security and immigration procedures.

The newly opened terminal at Jorge Chávez International Airport is anticipated to meet Peru’s growing air travel demands, initially processing 30 million passengers annually before expanding capacity to 40 million.

Integrated Biometrics’ lightweight scanners use patented light-emitting sensor (LES) technology to outperform traditional fingerprint devices in size, power consumption, portability, and reliability, according to the South Carolina, U.S.-based company.
